Why do organizations wait for a negative, newsworthy event, new mandate or impending audit before they decide to focus on governance?

With the increased pressures to create value through benefits realization, risk optimization and resource optimization, a governance solution is paramount to survival in today’s fast moving and highly compliance focused business environment.

A key success factor to any governance initiative is to ensure the proper knowledge, skills and abilities are available.

Two of the key areas include the CGEIT certification and the COBIT framework.
